"A healthy body leads to a healthy mind"

Sports Program

Our Sports Program kicked off in January 2018 and is held weekly @ Yio Chu Kang Stadium. In addition to boosting cardiovascular fitness and strength, children who participate in regular physical activity and/or organized sports and fitness programs can make great improvement in their

balance and coordination

fine motor skills

overall motor function

self-control

ability to focus on a task

auditory, visual, and tactile skills

Even beyond these physical benefits, participation in regular sports or fitness programs can enhance the child’s emotional wellbeing, boost self-esteem, and improve social skills.

Swimming Program*

It has been proven that swimming can help children on the autism spectrum

improve speech,

coordination,

social skills,

self-esteem, and

cognitive processing

as well as be an invaluable therapy to calm down.

However, the key function of learning to swim is to prevent accidental drowning in children.

We have teamed up with Mr Silas (GC Swim), a certified swim coach, currently for schools such as Rainbow and APSN, to offer swimming lessons for our students. Lessons are conducted once weekly @ Yio Chu Kang Swimming Pool.

Children Yoga

The practice of yoga for children with autism and other special needs teaches many skills but perhaps one of the most important elements of yoga for children with special needs is teaching them

coping skills and how to respond to stress, tension, worry, anxiety and depression.

Teaching children specific breathing strategies and yoga poses to support them in activating the parasympathetic nervous system which is responsible for rest, relaxation and digestion

supports them in reducing anxiety, releasing difficult emotions and tension in the body,

developing healthier sleep patterns,

improving digestion

and optimal functioning in the body and improving mood and behavior.

Children with autism and special needs can learn coping strategies through the practice of yoga so they may live calmer, happier, more peaceful and healthier lives. Our lessons are incorporated daily into the curriculum and children practice different poses & techniques at their own pace and comfort.

Music Program

Reading a piece of music takes a great deal of focus, causing a child to translate a note and a rhythm, process it into hand movements on the keys and immediately follow to the next one. Reading and playing music allows them to think both critically and creatively, which is a helpful skill for use in the future. The benefits of learning to play music are

Increased attention

Decreased self-stimulation

Improved verbal skills

Improved motor skills

Improved cognitive functions

Increased socialization

Behavioral improvements

Enhanced auditory processing

Decreased agitation

Dance Program

Dance lessons are conducted once weekly by our dance teacher, who is NAFA trained and the focus of dance lessons are to

promote expression of emotion

breaking the withdrawal symptoms and engaging with others

increasing interpersonal bonding and communication

recognizing, associating and responding to others

increasing eye contact

participate in group activities

promote socialization

increasing shared focus

learning through mirroring

and developing trust
